a poetic rant

It's not a way to end it all.
It's closer to hibernation.
click on the apple.
how many different ways to say "slow the fuck down" are there?
people need to be constantly reaffirmed.
there is a way out.
It's not an end to everything.
It's a pause button.
seriously, click on the apple.
If you have a Mac, click on the apple.
I'm sure there is a PC equivalent.
Neither is better - just different.
no one is more right than the other.
Every man made machine - and most "machines" that have been created
(the planet earth, for example)
requires adjustments.
Ice Age, Plague, Quake, Disasters...
What man made creation was perfect from the beginning, forever?
Everything has flaws.
Every plan has holes.
Every program has a way out.
Click on the apple.
at the midpoint of the dropdown menu, what do you see?
Force Quit...
easily the most aggressive way to end it.
Force Quit...
when you can't add or take away anymore input.
Just spinning, spinning, spinning.
Force Quit...
Only at the most aggravating times do you Force Quit...
Click on the apple.
below Force Quit... is Sleep.
Like a gentle reminder to breathe.
Sleep.
It will all be fine after some time away.
Sleep.
Come back later.
Click on the apple.
Restart...
Seems we've have gotten off on a bad foot.
Do Over.
Restart...
It was a good idea at the top, but it needs some minor adjustments.
Restart...
Do it again, only don't make the same mistakes.
Click on the apple.
Shut Down...
I just can't do anything else with this.
it's not an aggressive move, I'm just done.
Shut Down...
That's all I want to add to this.
Click on the apple.
Log Out Bob Ladewig...

(this started out as a diabetic rant/save the world-type thought.
by no means is this a red flag of any sort of danger - just something I have noticed about the world according to my computer)
